Written Walkthrough

Meet Sam outside the fuel depot in order to attack (you also get to find out that Sam is American, who knew, right?). Be aware of the meter at the top of your screen-- it's Sam's health. If he dies, you fail the mission, but as long as you don't do anything stupid he can take care of himself fairly well. This is the setup: you driving, Sam in back on machine gun. You have to plant charges at four fuel reserves throughout the depot, split up into these points: northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. Once you plant the bomb, you will have 20 seconds until it detonates, so run like hell. Since it doesn't matter which order you hit these in, they will have their own specific instructions below.

Northeast

In this building there is a pretty small amount of troops, but there is one heavy, so beware. Also be cautious about parking Sam in this area- you have to position him so he can defend you, but it's easy to leave him too out in the open and risk failing the mission. Kill the heavy, plant the bomb, and get out.

Northwest

At the fuel reserves here there is also soldiers and a heavy, but the ammount is slightly increased. Still one heavy, but the number of normal enemies has increased. The nice part is the that it it's just an open room, so something like the flamethrower would work quite well.

SouthWest

This one can be tricky. The place you need to place the bomb is in the second room of a large building packed with enemies-- including a heavy. In addition there is only one entrance, making it slightly difficult. Here is where you can utilize Sam. Drive out front and let him pick off enemies as they come through the door, making sure that no enemies are approaching from behind, of course. Plant the bomb and run, it's a little harder to get out of this area.

Southeast

This reserve is located in an elongated version of the northwest room. Nothing too special, by now you know the drill: Kill em'. plant it, run.

After you have destroyed all four of these places, you must then drive Sam to the maintainence building. Here, you will stay in the truck and cover him while he plants a bomb. Several trucks and a plane, as well as a large number of infantry, will come at you. Aim for the drivers/pilots of the vehicles, and use the explosive barrels scattered across the field to take out foot solidiers. After the bomb goes off, Sam will hop into the drivers seat and take off. In a pretty epic event, the camp around you starts to blow up, and you must shoot your way out. When you and Sam make it out, he congradulates you.
